Trout Creek Montana

It feels right to listen to Lord Huron and think of Montana 

When reality feeds itself on one’s own myopic inertia

To be there again, a hungering and herculean agenda



To do this one life away from her, self serving and simply

I swam to this timid paradise but it drowned me nearly

The silence here is bold, it reminds me often and clearly



When you brood upon things you misunderstand they still hatch

Nevermore in Trout Creek the cold clay through my toes I’ll pinch

The silence there was warm, like chicken soup she made from scratch
